    Decor
    Ed M.

    This is a very well run family owned Italian restaurant. The ambience is excellent and it is not too loud and very beautifully decorated. They have a small menu and they clearly focus all their energy on creating the best version of every item they offer . This place is highly recommended and it seems like they are from the northern part of Italy.

    Oysters
    Kenneth C.

    This was by farrrrr the besttt Italian restaurant I've ever been to. The past was perfectly al dente, the oysters were a nice size for happy hour as well. I asked the server to just surprise me with any pasta dish and she did excellent. I usually don't go to the same restaurant twice in a week as a traveler but I will be back!

    Came here for my 30th birthday and had a party. Everything from the start of planning the party to the actual event was amazing. The appetizers, entrees, and drinks made the event absolutely amazing. We would love to plan another event here because of how well everyone was treated. Highly recommend!

    I've been here more times than I can count and it's our usual date night spot! We've taken family here as well as gifted others gift cards so they can experience this amazing establishment for themselves. The food is top tier when it comes to the NWI and Chicagoland region, the rotating menu makes this always a go-to and they have the freshest and highest quality fish. From start to finish you feel like you've been taken care of, the owner is very hands on as well as his family and every employee takes pride in their role. You'll never be disappointed here which is why it's our go-to. The perfect ambience without the hustle and bustle of a typical weekend evening in a restaurant despite it being busy it still feels very intimate and the noise level is perfect and not distracting, no yelling across the table due to loud background music or environment. I love this place and will continue going.

    Smashburger with fries

    I had the smashburger with fries off of their lunch menu. The food was good. The burger was a bit smaller than the bun. Their horseradish mayo is really good.

    Loved everything... the decor.. the service the food... everything was 5 star. I had a seafood dish with shrimp and scallops in a lemon butter sauce. Delicious.

    Everything was amazing. The food, the drinks, the service, and the atmosphere... I only wish I heard of this restaurant sooner. Will definitely be going back.

    How the bill came lol it wasn't bad for two people. Expect to spend around $150-200 if drinking

    Me and my wife loved it. It felt very inclusive, we forgot we were in northwest Indiana. Felt more like Downtown Chicago. I had a the filet mignon, it was incredible. We enjoyed the wine as well!

    Love the play on words with the bill

    This place has NEVER failed us. Last year, at the VERY BEGINNING of what would become a pandemic, we had a date night and had to leave immediately for a family emergency. We had JUST ordered apps but we let our waiter, Josh, know what happened and he immediately jumped in to action to box up our stuff. No questions asked. We've returned twice since and all I can say is I LOVE IT HERE. Every dish ordered has been cooked to perfection. I love the dimness of the room, no matter the time of day. It's very cozy and perfect for date nights. Everything I've ordered has been wonderful. The ambience makes it really easy to just hang out, eat good food, and enjoy the company. We've never really orders the appetizers, unless one piqued our interest on the specials menu. We just order a drink and talk. I've had the agnolotti ripieni, which is ravioli filled with braised beef short ribs. So good!! The tagliata di manzo is superb!! We've ordered off the specials menu, too. But, I can't remember the dishes ‍ always good food. Always a good time. We are and will continue to be repeat diners here.

    First time at this restaurant and it was very nice! We sat in the bar area at a high top table…read more Cloth napkins on the table and really excellent drink menu. They bring you bread and soft butter to the table. i had the strawberry lemon drop and hub had the captains punch. We had the colossal shrimp cocktail for an appetizer. Ordered the main entree and we both had the 9 ounce filets with twice baked potatoes. The filet was so flavorful, we did not need A1 at all. Delicious. Our server Brittany was very good and all the other server attendants. We will be back to enjoy more!

But for sure they should have been prepared. Had some cocktails. They were strong. The old fashioned wasn't made correctly. One ice cube. Not multiple. We had the crab cake. It was decent. A ton of filler. Not a lot of crab to be found. We ordered the ribeye with fries. Excellent. Definitely cooked medium to specification. Fries were hot too. I ordered the peppercorn filet medallions. They were covered in the demi glace. Also I had a side of garlic mashed potatoes. The plate was NOT hot. The steak was warm at best. Could have been HOT. Especially if you are paying $50. The potatoes were COLD. I sent them back. The new potatoes I received were ALSO COLD. Unacceptable. You should not have to send cold food back twice. I was also told I could get the vegetables instead but would take long. We waited. They never came. Even asking our server at the end she said it's included in the price so there is nothing she can do. Salad was watery. Should have dried the lettuce before serving. This way the dressing doesn't rub off. Disappointed in the ending of our meal. Not a repeat for me

    The filet mignon Pittsburgh style was so tender and perfectly cooked complimented by garlic mash…read moreand asparagus I was truly in fat guy heaven . The next best part was the salad that comes with had creamy garlic and all their other dressings are homemade. And I apologize no pics of my steak because I have to admit I was so hungry my phone was just getting in my way.

She added to our enjoyable evening at Prime. The surf and turf my girlfriend had had such a great presentation and equally good quality taste. I had their shrimp with were perfectly grilled. The wedge salad was on point and classic. And then layer on Frank Sinatra tunes in the background while sipping the well made martinis made by Alissa...a great evening. My only negative would be the calamari I thought would have been better, not hot. Maybe not a 5 in the options of a large metropolitan city, but for the square on downtown Crown Point, an absolute 5. Look forward to enjoying again when in the area.

    Date night done right at Rosebud Steakhouse in Munster…read more My husband and I chose this spot for a much-needed night out and it did not disappoint. We started with drinks--he had an Old Fashioned and I ordered the Versant Twist--and both were absolutely lovely. We skipped appetizers to save room for dinner and were so glad we did. He ordered the Dolmenico Ribeye and I went with the 12oz Filet Mignon. We shared grilled asparagus, loaded steakhouse mashed potatoes and sautéed mushrooms and onions. Everything was so incredibly delicious that I completely forgot to take photos--which says a lot. Ryan, our server, was fantastic--attentive, friendly and made the whole experience even better. Honestly, we haven't had a steak this good while dining out in over 20 years. We will definitely be back very soon.

    This place is overrated. Tucked into the corner of a strip mall, it's not very attractive inside…read moreand has a very plain, basic atmosphere, which can get really loud, especially if you're entertaining guests. We took my mother there to celebrate her 84th birthday and had a party of about 20 people. The side room we occupied was too dark for my liking. The employees were nice. As for the food, Rosebud Steakhouse is known for its steaks, and the 13-plus people in our group who ordered steak said they were good. However, one steak did have to be sent back because it was overcooked. I ordered the chicken sandwich, crab cake, macaroni, and broccoli on the side. The macaroni and chicken were oversalted, the broccoli was over-peppered, and the crab cake was undercooked. I packed my food up and took it home, where it ended up sitting in the garage. They do have a full bar, which was a nice bonus. Overall, if steak is your thing, this is the place for you.
